    Apparently China is beating this virus. Can they send over some ventilators to us?
    They’ve sent a lot of equipment to Italy.

    A relief that its not as high as predicted, hopefully it stays that way
    And no increase in the deaths is great as well.

    As of the 13th of March, just two people in Italy died from COVID19 who did not have other underlying health issues.

    Italy has a lot of connections with China through the textile industry.

    Iran is connected to China through their common hatred of the US.

    I can see how these two countries are the hardest hit outside of China tbh.


    The cases in Italy originated from the Bavaria outbreak at the end of January.


    Know we now (from genomic data) that the virus was introduced early in Europe, with early cases in the Netherlands and Germany which appear to have been the main gateways thanks to the busy airport hubs.
    There was also a death in Valencia on the 13 February.

    See for NL

    Seriously if Italian level casualty rates start hitting us there will be mass panic far higher than there was after the first shutdown announcement. WTF is the country going to be like?

    Very few tested today would be included in these results anyway but I thought testing had ramped up in the last 2 days so likely many more tested yesterday & today compared to numbers last week

    69 new cases - not 30% increase, so good

    It's not going to be exactly 30% every day. But even so, it actually was an increase of 30.9%.

    223 cases, increase by 69 to 292.

    69/223 =30.9% increase.

    is the general rule of thumb that new cases recorded today were probably contracted 14 days ago?

    The whole island of Ireland has half the population of Lombardy. The figures won’t seem catastrophic here.

    Test centres i believe over the coming days will be able to test more and we'll see a more accurate reflection. But lets see. Hopefully it'll be good news

    Loved seeing all the mini parades that people had at their houses on the news. Some towns had a car parade as well.

    Both Chine and Cuba are sending equipment and medical staff to help other countries.

    You can bet it will be remembered by the recipients for a very long time.


    Yes I believe that Italy had already sent something (not sure what) to China before it all kicked off there too!

    Between 6 and 72 depending on the test centre. The national virology centre is 6 hours but a smaller and smaller proportion of our tests are being done there.

    Presumably it started with one or two cases in Italy and spread out gradually. We've has multiple sources of infection coming back from skiing holidays etc. over that period, fires breaking out all over the place.


    Skiing resorts in France and Italy and school holidays have acted as petri dishes for the virus, with people from all over Europe meeting up there.
    The virus was circulating earlier in Germany, Netherlands (earlier than in Italy)... and then everyone headed out on holiday.

    They'll be preparing for a second wave I'd imagine, they won't be giving away anything that they'll possibly need.

    It should be here by now though.

    Italy cases have plateaued in the past few days

    We won’t see benefits of lockdown for at least 2 weeks.

    Implementing that, economy will die anyway when people get scared and don't go into work.

    Or are looking after sick relatives.

    Fcuking hell 292 cases in the south of Ireland, 350 in the whole of Ireland.

    Are they going to introduce any more measures to control this?

    There's no talk of how much are serious cases?

    you sound surprised? there is an expected 15,000 by end of month,

    the measures are simple - stay at home, social distancing etc. to make sure that by end of April we don't have 500,000 cases
